Cheapest barges?

Hello,

I'm looking for a pair of cheap (as cheap as possible) barges that are or can be converted to hopper barges. Will consider anything 150'+. Anyone have some around or know where I can pick some up?

Thanks,

Jake

There's a yard on the Illinois River somewhere between Peru and Cuba (no, really), specifically I think it's upriver of Peoria; they've got just a tremendous rust farm going on there, Google around and I think you'll find it.
